Hailing from Guangzhou, the chain is most known for their chee cheong fun, which is steamed to order. There’s the Char Siew Roll ($6.80), featuring thin rice sheets stuffed with sweet char siew and lettuce. Alternatively, go for the signature Fresh Prawn Egg ($8.30), sandwiching an omelette, fresh prawns and lettuce—almost like a complete meal!

Fans also love their Fried Dough Roll ($5.50) AKA zha leong, a popular dim sum item starring a chunky you tiao wrapped in a thin rice sheet. The chee cheong fun is said to be smooth and silky on the outside, contrasting well with the crispy deep-fried dough fritter.

Other popular mains include their Salted Pepper Chicken Chop Noodles ($7.80), starring thin egg noodles in a braising sauce, served with a slab of deep-fried chicken thigh. For something more comforting, there’s also the Boat Congee ($7.30), which comes with a treasure trove of toppings such as sliced fish and peanuts.
